The detectives were conducting surveillance related to an earlier violent crime in Cape May County when they crossed paths with Servais in the parking lot of a vehicle rental business in Vineland. Servais was a suspect in the earlier crime, the state Attorney General's Office recently confirmed.

The office said in a previous statement that prosecutor's office detective John Caccia fired three rounds at Servais, who was driving a Nissan Altima. Servais was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later.

A use of force report filed by the prosecutor's office states Caccia fired because he was "in fear of imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury to himself or another officer."

Officials have not described the previous crime detectives were investigating or exactly how Servais endangered the detective.

The Attorney General's Office is investigating Caccia's use of force, but body camera footage won't be part of its review.

Responding to an Open Public Records Act request filed by NJ Advance Media, the state Attorney General's Office confirmed Thursday that the agency does not have "footage that captured the shooting or the events leading up to the incident."

Decisions on which officers in a police agency wear body-worn cameras is up to the department's leadership, state regulations say.

The Attorney General's office did make public Thursday body camera footage from Vineland officers who responded to the scene after the shooting.

Apart from a brief glimpse of someone performing CPR on Servais as he lays on the ground next to a vehicle, the rest of the footage shows officers cordoning off the scene and beginning the investigation.

Investigators have not said if security cameras at the business where the shooting occurred captured the incident.

Servais was indicted earlier this month on an aggravated assault charge after he allegedly punched another resident at a juvenile detention facility in Bordentown and broke his jaw. He was also indicted in Cumberland County earlier this year on a charge of receiving stolen property.
